Journalist Max Blumenthal accused the conservative group Turning Point USA (TPUSA) of mistaking the position of her late co-founder Charlie Kirk to defend the U.S. war against Israel against Iran.

Kirk, a popular podcaster, was killed by a sniper last September during an appearance at the University of Utah.

His widow, Erika Kirk, has since taken over the leadership of the TPUSA.

On Monday, 2 days after the United States began raiding Iran, the TPUSA published on X a movie in which Kirk praised Iran's westernization, which lasted until the overthrow of chess in the 1979 muslim Revolution.

"If you are serious about protecting human rights, you should want Iran to become Western again" Kirk in the video.

However, the post met with a community memo stating that the clip came before Kirk's June 2025 statement, in which he called the government change in Iran "pathologically insane".


"TPUSA has attracted community attention for deliberately mistaking Charlie Kirk's strong opposition to the U.S. war against Iran" – wrote Blumenthal, founder and editor-in-chief ‘The Grayzone’, in consequence to a note.


Although Kirk supported US president Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran's atomic facilities in June 2025, he warned the extremist Republicans that an intervention to overthrow the Iranian government would likely lead to "unintended and unforeseen consequences".

“How do you know it will get better? Yes, Ayatollah is terrible, but possibly he is 1 of the fewer who can keep this country full and avoid a 90-million civilian war”said Kirk in his podcast last year, adding that the fall of the government could origin spiritual force and a wave of refugees to Europe.


Trump publically supported the protests and riots that began in Iran in December, and urged Iranians opposing the government to usage ongoing raids as an chance to take over power.
